THE HP LEXICON... HAS - oops, never mind.

[mijan]

I saw it on slumber 's LJ.  I went to the old website address.  Everything is gone.

It might be a glitch... but...

DUUUUDE, could the legendary Harry Potter Lexicon really be GONE?


Okay, I've been enlightened.  The Lexicon is just changing domains.  It's not gone, just moving. 

That was still weird for the few moments when I wondered if it was true.

I had problems accessing it a week or so ago, and didn't know what was going on. If it is gone, I'll understand that it's because SVA is a big poo-face, but as well, apart from it being his site... I actually used it a lot for reference. Are there other resource time-lines out there that you know about, by chance?

According to SVA, it's just a temporary thing.

Didn't they get in trouble for some sort of copyright violation? I was reading something a few months ago that said Rowling was getting into some fight with the owner of the Lexicon or something. I can't really remember.

The fight between Steve and JKR wasn't about the Lexicon website - it was because Steve wanted to publish a printed book version of the Lexicon, and JKR said that's where she had to draw the line. It was about him publishing a book, not the website.

It's not gone, it's just changing domains.

Well, it's not doing it very efficiently if that is the case. No advance warning, no heads up to anyone about down time, just the weird thing with the random commercial links...
The regulars and other visitors deserved more than that!

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

So of course, I zipped right over to see for myself, and got the basic layout but with "?" instead if jpegs. I clicked on A-Z and got that yucky 'add' page for 'sites about the HP Lexicon.

I use it all the time when I am writing. :(

Now I don't know much about Mr. Steve, other than that he tried to cash in on JKR's work with a book. :P
Do you think he would take the site down out of spite???

Oh damn, I was hoping that meant the opinion was out.

Hah - and there was me thinking that the timelines had just been taken down. I was like 'Okay, so I'll go and get Deathly Hallows off the shelf to check my Darkfest fic, shall I?' *sigh* Internets has failed me.

I was really freaking out, I'm just glad I'm not the only one to notice! Good thing I've gotten almost all of my info I need for my fic. I wonder how long this IS going to take. I mean, its' been like this for about a week now! Come on people!!! Some people need it for important, life changing, life or death information! ...Well, maybe not life or death.
